Might you share your filling recipe? I'm always looking for a good fig cookie filling. I have a Sicilian coworker who's fig filling is the BEST, but she won't tell me what's in it. (Though I know it's figs, dates, and some candied grapefruit peel, though I don't think her version uses pistachios.) Would love to see your version.

Love those things. Christmas fig cookies is a tradition my mothers side of the family has carried on for years.

Sure h1, here you go. Now I will tell you that I tripled the recipe plus.
Filling
1 cup dried figs
1 cup dried dates, pitted
¾ cup raisins
½ cup walnuts,(I used pistashios for a more Italian like flavor)chopped or ground in food processor. I also used my smaller meat grinder to grind the nut , figs, raisins and dates. It's best to mixed them with each other while grinding. This makes it a little more difficult to measure exactly but it helps when it comes to mixing it all together.
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup honey
1 cup orange marmalade
I just enjoyed a couple of fig cookies while posting this. I hope this works for you.
